Preparation of PtSnSb/C by an alcohol reduction process for direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC)

PtSn/C and PtSnSb/C electrocatalysts (20 wt.% metal loading) were prepared by an alcohol reduction process using H₂PtCl₆.6H₂O, SnCl₂.2H₂O, and Sb(OOCCH3) as metal sources, ethylene glycol as solvent and reducing agent, and Vulcan XC72 as carbon support. The electrocatalysts were characterized by energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy, while that the performance for ethanol oxidation was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperommetry (chrono) at room temperature. The diffractograms of the PtSn/C and PtSnSb/C electrocatalysts showed four peaks associated to Pt face-centered cubic structure and two peaks that were related to a SnO₂ phase. For PtSb/C and PtSnSb/C electrocatalysts, no Sb (antimony) peaks corresponding to a metallic antimony or antimony oxide phases were observed. Transmission electron microscopy images showed that the metal particles were homogeneously distributed over the support.

Canted antiferromagnetic and optical properties of nanostructures of Mn2O3 prepared by hydrothermal synthesis

We have reported new magnetic and optical properties of Mn2O3 nanostructures.The nanostructures have been synthesized by the hydrothermal method combined with the adjustment of pH values in the reaction system.The particular characteristics of the nanostructures have been analyzed by employing X-Ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive X-ray(EDX) analysis,transmission electron microscopy(TEM),high resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM),Raman spectroscopy(RS),UV-visible spectroscopy,and the vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM).Structural investigation manifests that the synthesized Mn2O3 nanostructures are orthorhombic crystal.Magnetic investigation indicates that the Mn2O3 nanostructures are antiferromagnetic and the antiferromagnetic transition temperature is at TN=83 K.Furthermore,the Mn2O3 nanostructures possess canted antiferromagnetic order below the Neel temperature due to spin frustration,resulting in hysteresis with large coercivity(1580 Oe) and remnant magnetization(1.52 emu/g).The UV-visible spectrophotometry was used to determine the transmittance behaviour of Mn2O3 nanostructures.A direct optical band gap of 1.2 eV was acquired by using the Davis-Mott model.The UV-visible spectrum indicates that the absorption is prominent in the visible region,and transparency is more than 80% in the UV region.     

Electron channeling X-ray microanalysis for partially filled skutterudite structure

Occupancy of Ce atoms on voids and coordinates of Sb atoms in a partially filled skutterudite CeFe6Ni2Sb24 were determined by the method for atomic location by channeling enhanced microanalysis (ALCHEMI), where characteristic X-ray intensities were measured and calculated at various electron incidence directions in a transmission electron microscope. The calculation was based on dynamical electron diffraction and inelastic scattering theories. The calculated intensities were significantly dependent on the occupation probability of Ce atoms on voids, the coordinates of Sb atoms and the sample thickness. Using the Levenberg-Marquardt least squares method, the occupation probability of Ce atoms and the coordinates of Sb atoms were 0.33 and 0 0.336 0.147, respectively.

Applications of a polymeric microgel template/ultrasonic degradation method: preparation of poly(sodium acrylate)/La(OH)3 nano-composites

A polymeric microgel template/ultrasonic degradation method for the preparation of organic-inorganic nano-composites is proposed and successfully used in the preparation of poly(sodium acrylate) (PAANa) and lanthanium hydroxide nano-composites (PAANa/La(OH)(3)). The nano-composites were prepared via three steps. La(NO(3))(3) was trapped within the PAANa microgels first, and then the metal ions within the microgels were hydrolyzed by slow introduction of ammonia. Finally, the composites of the micro-particles were degraded by ultrasonic treatment. The product was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The average diameter of the composites prepared in this way is about 50 nm and the size distribution of them is narrow. TGA analysis shows that the content of La(OH)(3) in the composites is about 20%.

Growth Control of High-Performance In As/Ga Sb Type-Ⅱ Superlattices via Optimizing the In/Ga Beam-Equivalent Pressure Ratio

The performance of type-II superlattice(T2 SL) long-wavelength infrared devices is limited by crystalline quality of T2 SLs. We optimize the process of growing molecular beam epitaxy deposition T2 SL epi-layers on Ga Sb(100)to improve the material properties. Samples with identical structure but diverse In/Ga beam-equivalent pressure(BEP) ratio are studied by various methods, including high-resolution x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. We find that appropriately increasing the In/Ga BEP ratio contributes to improving the quality of T2 SLs, but too large In BEP will much more easily cause a local strain,which can lead to more In Sb islands in the In Sb interfaces. The In Sb islands melt in the In Sb interfaces caused by the change of chemical potential of In atoms may result in the "nail" defects covering the whole T2 SLs, especially the interfaces of Ga Sb-on-In As. When the In/Ga BEP ratio is about 1, the T2 SL material possesses a lower full width at half maximum of +1 first-order satellite peak, much smoother surface and excellently larger area uniformity.

Synthesis of β-Ga2O3 nanowires through microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition

In this study, we demonstrate the large-scale synthesis of beta gallium oxide (β-Ga₂O₃) nanowires through microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) of a Ga droplet in the H₂O and Ar atmosphere at 600 W. Unlike the commonly used MPCVD method, the H₂O, not mixture of gas, was employed to synthesize the nanowires. The ultra-long β-Ga₂O₃ nanowires with diameters of about 20-30 nm were several tens of micrometers long. The morphology and structure of products were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). The growth of β-Ga₂O₃ nanowires was controlled by vapor-solid (VS) crystal growth mechanism.     

Sonochemical preparation of antimony subiodide

The substantiated isolation of the antimony subiodide (Sb₃I) is presented for the first time. It has been prepared using elemental Sb and I in ethanol under ultrasonic irradiation at 323 K. Its composition was characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) investigations exhibit that the samples are made up of large quantity of nanoparticles with diameters smaller than 20 nm and single crystalline in nature. The interplanar spacings in Sb₃I that have been determined using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and HRTEM are very similar. Surprisingly, the registered XRD patterns are identical to the one reported earlier for Sb₄O₅I₂.
